This book changed the way I parent

Review by melpo, 2010-07-26

This book has changed the way I parent and consequently, it has changed my life. My husband, parents, and in-laws all notice that the way I interact with my daughter has significantly changed and we are seeing positive results. This book has concrete strategies and it constantly reviews the previous information so that you really internalize the information. In addition to being a mom, I am a social worker and work with families. I plan to recommend it to any family who is struggling with defiance or power struggles. I highly recommend this book!!

don't see this working

Review by C. Traughber, 2010-03-09

I don't get it. Where is the concrete advice? Seems like he is saying to give them lots of love and try to understand them..OK.. so, What do I do when my 14 year old disrupts our family every night by being obnoxious at the dinner table and I ask her to stop 5 times...she does not learn from her mistakes and does not listen to anything we ask.. I am then told to not use consequences.. OK. What do I do? We are all enjoying a nice dinner and she is being loud and annoying. We are supposed to ask her what is going on with her and validate her? Being ADD is not an excuse for bad behavior. She lost her computer for the night..maybe that will get through.

Probably the best book on this subject

Review by Deborah M. Dunne, 2010-02-08

Altho' I am skeptical of titles that claim to work miracles in 10 days, I have to recommend this book. I borrowed a slew of books from the library on this topic and this one is the most direct,[so much so that I purchased my own copy). And his recommendations do work and quickly. However, one has to be prepared to change a lot about oneself. The ideas do work quickly but for the longterm they require a constant effort. Its worth it though, because the alternative is very expensive and not guaranteed.

Best Parenting Book I've Ever Read!

Review by V. Logan, 2009-12-24

This book completely changed how I relate to my grandchildren. The youngest WAS very difficult and argumentative. We are now communicating with love and respect!! I never would have believed this! This book works wonders!

Helped children PAST the edge

Review by K. M Merrill, 2009-08-29

My neice got her children after an 19 month custody battle, the kids were dirty and out of control and threw screamiing fits all day long, ages 6 and 4.
First she cleaned them up, taught them to eat from tables and plates, introduced structure with child care,took 60 days to reach that point.
Then they were still throwing huge out of control fits at her. ( like the dad)
So she asked for advice from dear auntie, I said "get expert advice" and sent her three books.
Report, ten days later all is on track, kids are minding, not screaming, and not throwing control fits and the dear neice has grown up and realised to be a parent you give kids what they need, not what they want. Love is not enough.
Dear niece called and thanked me today for helping her with good advice.
Have not read the book ,but am hearing good things with results. Be brave, do tough love.
